I sometimes feel negativity from those posts where it's obvious that one is out to stroke their own ego. These are those people that you can tell have an agenda, even if it's a subconscious one. These type of posts come from both believers and skeptics alike.

I won't name names either but there are two or three posters here who constantly seem like they're out to prove something.

Sometimes people get angry or self rightious and get a little emotional. That is what makes it interesting. Should everything be totally politically correct? Why does the opinion of a stranger matter enough to concern you. It is conflict that holds your interest and heated debate is more interesting (and productive) than brotherly affirmations. You should never take this stuff personal regardless of what is said.

--------------------"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

--------------------You're here because you know something.
What you know you can't explain,
But you feel it;
You've felt it your entire life.
That there's something wrong with the world.
You don't know what it is, but it's there....
Like a splinter in your mind...
Driving you mad.

Hum..................we are all humans and all suffer from Egos. It is only natural to become trapped by such things. The goal is to always be aware of such things and not to let them consume you.

The fact is for me as a Christian I have taken a oath ,of some sort if that is what a person was to call it, to share the news of God and Jesus. So in fact I will always be on the path of education and can be excused of "trying to prove something"

I am aware that there is a Job to do and I am expected to do it.

So if in fact you mean me or people like me in anyway............you are just going to have to deal with it

I guess you can say that every person that has ever posted here is exactly as you say.

But it is the intent that must be understood and not the words that you read. A mans heart can be a very difficult thing to read on-line.

Ok it took quite a large amount of ego unpacking to say this....... Fucknuckle puts it back

--------------------What it is, is what it is my Brother.
It is as it is, so suffer thru it.

Of course negativity isn't projected over the internet by some weird emotional mind-link

However, and I thought this was quite obvious, written language itself can be used to convey and even produce specific emotion. Your challenge was made useless with the second sentence. Wording has everything to do with this, as in all writing.

Have you never read poetry?
